Frangments of time

The Pride of India series with Hyundai continues as Dhruv Saxena heads to Shekhawati, a region that has been labelled by many as an open-air art gallery

- Dhruv Saxena

India is an intoxicating mix of history, culture, heritage and art. No matter the direction you drive in, there is plenty to discover, plenty to experience and plenty to admire. For the sixth instalment of the Pride of India series, we made our way to northeast Rajasthan for a drive through the annals of history. But first, we had a five hour, 250 odd kilometre journey from Delhi to Alsisar that lay ahead of us and we had at our disposal the new Hyundai Verna that isn’t just a delight from behind the wheel but pampers its occupants with segment-first features like ventilated seats. The route led us out of Delhi into Harayana before leading us to Rajasthan’s remarkably well-paved roads cutting through the arid landscape.
